A summons means you must appear in court as outlined on the summons, regardless of what you pay. A judge has ordered to see you. Not appearing will lead to the issuing of a warrant for your arrest. ANY contact with the police or other agencies will require that they take you into custody. Why not pay the bill if you can, or set up a payment plan and get it in writing by e-mail. Go to the summons, show the judge and see what happens. If they see a good faith effort, they are more likely to be understanding than if you ignore what is required of you.

No :), if you are making the minimum payments they should not send your account to creditors, you`d be surprised how long they will take to send it even when you pay nothing, but your best bet is to pay the min if you can afford it. I don`t know how true this is but I have heard that if you pay just 1 dollar every month they still cannot send it.

Someone said: This is actually incorrect. I work for a hospital in the billing office and if you do not make guidline payments set by the hospital on your balance then they are still send you to collections. check with your billing office to see what guidlines payments are.

Someone said: I know they need there money but when someone is not working and cannot afford the minimum why can`t the hospital/dr have mercy and work with someone. people now days just want money. We are just cattle to them, a number. people are so heartless. but remember the day of judgement is coming and we will have to atone for how we treat people.

I would also try to make payments to the hospital. Don`t even mess with the collection agency. Research Hipaa laws in your state. Also visit www.creditboards.com. I found a lot of great advice in the forums and have been working on fixing my credit for months now. for more details about hospital bill turned into collection you can check it on www.npasweb.com.
